I've been on the organizing team for SQL Saturday Wisconsin since it began in 2011, I am the President of the Madison Modern Excel and Power BI User Group and I regularly present on Business Intelligence topics at local usergroups and SQL Saturday events. Finally, I am the author of two books about ExpressionEngine, a web publishing platform. You can read more about what I do on my LinkedIn profile.

Please note that everything on this website is my personal opinion and does not reflect that of my employers (current or past). I am not paid by any organization for anything published here.

That's a fantastic question and I'm glad you asked! I have written an article that introduces Business Intelligence and how it differs from
regular reporting. Read it here: What is Business Intelligence?.

What is this website?

This website is meant as a central point for information about my work, including my books. You can also follow me on Twitter (I'm @phonetictalk) or subscribe to my blog's RSS feed.

The problems are mounting and the recriminations start flying: "If only I'd known" or "I didn't know". It all gets chalked up to communication issues but the truth is, no-one really knows what they would have done differently because no-one did anything wrong. Enter Yammer.
